One could look at it that way, but if you think about it, wouldn't you do that to someone you love?

Explanation from Douay-Rheims Bible [Matthew 16:22] ''"And Peter taking him"... That is, taking him aside, out of a tender love, respect and zeal for his Lord and Master's honour, began to expostulate with him, as it were to rebuke him, saying, Lord, far be it from thee to suffer death; but the Lord said to Peter, ver. 23, Go behind me, Satan. These words may signify, Begone from me; but the holy Fathers expound them otherwise, that is, come after me, or follow me; and by these words the Lord would have Peter to follow him in his suffering, and not to oppose the divine will by contradiction; for the word satan means in Hebrew an adversary, or one that opposes.

Agreed. If you want to let bygones be bygones, then I'll accept - you've given quite a long argument :). But [please don't take any offense] when you find something that reasonably contradicts something you believe, please don't just back away from it. Find the answers to that contradiction, and if you can't then take a closer look at the contradiction. It might be faulty, and then again, it might be the truth.
